romney is also a hypocrite. as president obama points out, mitt romney's plan for the auto workers of ohio would have actually sent jobs to china. >> he's hoping you remember that it's likely to create jobs in china because is shifts them overseas instead of here in the united states of america. if mitt romney had been president when the auto industry was on the verge of collapse, we might not have an automobile industry today. we'd be buying cars from china instead of selling to them. >> mitt romney's path to the presidency is impossible without ohio's 18 electoral votes. right now winning ohio is not looking good for romney. six ohio polls were released this week. five of them have president obama leading. one is tied. president obama's average lead in ohio is 2.3 points. that's a big lead, seriously. now families in northern ohio have not forgotten what the rescue of the automobile industry did for their state. one in eight ohio jobs are about the automobile industry. this is why mitt romney is doing everythi

mitt romney is only ahead in two. that would put the president well over the top in the electoral college. now, as john king says, we don't know where this is going to go. you don't know about the enthusiasm rate. i was just in ohio this week and i can tell you, looking at the polls, you thought obama's going to win it but if you talk to people on the ground, they say that's not the feeling we have here, especially the republicans. they're pretty confident they will have a big turnout coming from the evangelicals, for example. >> gloria, with unemployment numbers out today, obviously doesn't seem like the numbers have had much of an impact on the polls one way or another the past few months. is there any reason to think this month might be different so close to election day? >> no, i don't think it's really going to have any impact, because you can look into these numbers today and you can take out of it -- each side can take something out of it, a slight uptick in the unemployment rate. mitt romney can point to that

but has the hiatus slowed mitt romney's momentum? are you just hoping whatever people thought before the storm, they froze whatever they're going to do and still going to do it and not see any swing back to the president? >> there's no question we have five days left, the momentum is with us, but you stop campaigning, you have to come back and see what happens. but we've been living under barack obama for four years. americans know exactly the impact his policies have had. enormously challenging. and what mitt romney is offering them is a break from the status quo. not four more years, but four years of promises of new jobs and a fresh start for millions of americans, a brighter future for their children. it's a clear choice here, and i don't think three days of us being worried and praying for the victims of this storm are going to change four years of barack obama. >> what about, though, then just the bottom line here, which is the pass of 270 in ohio is difficult. polls haven't changed at all. you talk about momentum, but florida,

ee . >>> if the romney campaigns ends, lower standard even by the romney campaign. what mitt romney is doing with the story on jobs in ohio is something new. here's how it started in ohio last week. >> i saw a story today, that one of the great manufacturers in this state, jeep, now owned by the italians, is thinking of moving all production to china. >> romney immediately got called out by that by conservative newspaper that endorsed him and by jeep's parent company, calling the statement a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats. but -- well, maybe he didn't see those fact-checks. why else would he put out this ad? >> obama took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italians who are going to build jeeps in china. >> to quote bill clinton, that takes brass. but that ad got four pinocchios from washington post, got pats on fire from politico. so obviously he stopped, right? wrong. he's now buying ohio ads in the ohio city home of the jeep plant. >> now come words that chrysler plans to start making jeeps in, you guessed it,
